but after sandy, everything else became manageable. as bad as the fire was, you can think back it could have been a lot worse. if it wasn't for those brave firefighters and the plan they put in place, we could have lost this entire boardwalk, including the part i'm standing on. we're very, very fortunate. >> governor christie was on the "today" show. lets take a look at part of what he had to say about the recovery. >> there's a lot more federal regulation that folks are having to deal with. we're continuing to push back on that. it's one of the realities of wasted abuse that happened in katrina. >> what is your impression of how the federal government has responded? >> i think government honest best day is complicated. it wasn't designed to move quickly. it wasn't designed to be proactive. and i think that you see that. but having said that, i think everybody has done things to what it seems this time the best of their ability, to get the money where it's needed, get the help where it's needed. did they need a little prodding, a littl

sandy, the sandy money is flexible. we designed a new program. if you have insurance we didn't want to pay over the insurance. so you had to first settle your insurance claim and if that was 40,000 and you had 100,000 of damage you could apply for the 60,000. >> senator on another topic, joe and i were eavesdropping on one of your conversations last night. you know i'm kidding. here's the question. is the nsa out of control? >> well, look, i think that it needs to be more transparent. look, there are two sides to this. on one hand they have protect us and the fact that there hasn't been major terrorist incidents in the united states is no accident and it's in good part because of the work of the nsa. on the other hand, an agency that has such awesome power should not be so opaque and ideas like making the fisa court proceedings public, ideas like having an advocate on the other side when the fisa court has argued bills that both senators have make a lot of sense. i think we can find a balance. there's some on the right who say let it do anything.

. >>> the news cycle dominated by hurricane sandy one year later. nbc's jay gray is along the jersey shore in seaside heights. >> reporter: hey there, krystal, good afternoon. you probably remember this iconic boardwalk from the pictures xbrust after the storm. it really became a symbol for so many of the communities that were damaged by sandy. now, 12 months later it continues to be a symbol for the region. in some areas like you see behind me, it's completely restored, others it's still a long way from being fixed. debris still dots the eastern seaboard here and many communities where most of the residents are out of their homes. they've complained of red tape to get federal funds and constant battle with insurance over claims. and say that the process has not moved quickly enough. they are now facing another winner where many will again be in trailers by a shell of what's left of their home and wondering how long to let go. >> thanks so much for that. bill clinton is in the midst of a four-day tour across virginia with terry mccalliffe. one campa

christie is simply too popular, thanks in part to his definite handling of hurricane sandy last year. democrats could have prevented christie from the sort of massive victory that he could use as a springboard for a 2016 presidential run. christie's campaign has not even tried to disguise that they want to run up the margins in this race so they can tell every republican who will listen that the state who re-elected barack obama by 17 points turned around the next year and backed chris christie by an even bigger margin. democrats could have denied him that. they could have worked to keep buono close, to keep christie from gaining momentum, from a massive victory in a blue state. instead, christie has built a 33-point lead without putting up any real fight on the democratic side. and that could come back to haunt them once 2016 rolls around. joining me now is e.j. dionne, a "washington post" columnist and author of "our divided political heart: the battle for the american idea in an age of discontent." e.j., thanks for joining us tonight. i appreciate it. and i'm just sort of thinking

the plan was because, you know i drove up there quite a bit early saturday morning and walked along sandy hook, walk along the main strip there. and people from around the world would come and put their mementos there, their teddy bears and everything that was so moving but you see this in the "new york" magazine, it was a constant reminder of the horror that had occurred. >> you know, it was devastating for everybody. but i have to tell you, when you look back and you see some of the things that some of these parents have accomplished, involved in advocacy, remembering their children, in their daily activities and trying to move forward, a lot of them as you know have become advocates on gun safety and have done remarkable things and accomplished remarkable things. so there's a real dedication on the part of these families to remember their children by good works and good deeds and i think the community is trying to do that. i took a tour of the community up and down the streets a few months ago and it was good to see things going back to normal. >> speaking of connecticut, when are taxe
